Cleaning Section - Kyocera Mita KM-4530 Service Manual

2-1-6 Cleaning section

The copier employs a blade cleaning method with a cleaning brush. The cleaning section consists of the cleaning blade
and the cleaning brush which remove residual toner from the drum surface after transfer, the cleaning brush scraper that
removes toner from the cleaning brush, and the cleaning spiral that carries the residual toner to the waste toner box.
After the transfer process is completed, residual toner on the drum surface is removed first by the rotation of the cleaning
brush and then by the cleaning blade.
The pre-cleaning lamps 1 and 2 (PCL1, PCL2) are provided on the front and rear ends of the drum respectively. The
LED light irradiates the drum ends to improve the cleaning performance on the drum ends.
